Knight Transportation Taps Special Volvo Trucks for 25th Anniversary

Knight Transportation, one of the nation’s leading truckload carriers, selected Volvo Trucks to supply 38 specially decorated Volvo VNL 670 models to recognize its 25th anniversary.

Each of the anniversary trucks features a silver finish with a special decal incorporating Knight’s logo.

Founded by four members of the Knight family, including former CEO and now Chairman Kevin Knight, the Phoenix, Arizona-based company began operation on July 19, 1990 with just a handful of trucks and has grown to approximately 4,800 tractors, more than 5,000 associates and revenues of more than $1 billion.

Today, Knight operates approximately 1,800 Volvo models in its fleet.

The Volvo VNL 670, Volvo’s best-selling truck ever, features a 61-inch tall sleeper and is available with the Volvo D13 or D16 engine or the Cummins ISX15. The Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmission is standard. The model year 2016 VNL 670 incorporates advanced aerodynamic upgrades and underhood enhancements that that improve fuel efficiency by up to 3.5 percent compared to the previous-year models.
